Quote: It's been imitated and remade, but never equaled. Tobe Hooper's

The Texas Chains Saw Massacre

rose from a notorious 1974 sleeper sensation to rank as one of the greatest horror films ever made. Now, to mark the film's 40th anniversary, Dark Sky Films is presenting the digitally re-mastered masterpiece on Blu-ray for the first time in a stunning Limited Deluxe 'Black Maria Collector's Edition box set.

The Texas Chains Saw Massacre

appears in an all-new 4K digital transfer and with a newly created 7.1 surround sound mix supervised by director Tobe Hooper. This release marks the only transfer of the film to go back to the original 16mm A/B rolls, the actual film that rolled through the cameras. The Limited Deluxe 'Black Maria' Edition will be released at retail in October but will be available exclusively at www.gorgon-video.com for 30 days starting September 16, 2014. Fans of the film will recognize the unique packaging as a replica of the iconic 'Black Maria' cattle truck that comes to Sally Hardesty's rescue when she's being pursued by Leatherface.

In addition to the Limited Deluxe 'Black Maria' Edition, the film will also be released as a standard DVD, Blu-ray, and DVD/Blu-ray Combo Pack on September 16 at retail outlets nationwide.
